A kind of pick-up unit of casing of lithium ion battery laser weld strength and using method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to the lithium ion battery manufacturing technology, and especially battery case and cover plate laser weld strength detection method relate in particular to a kind of pick-up unit and using method thereof of casing of lithium ion battery laser weld strength.
Background technology
Along with the Global Oil resource is nervous, the air environmental pollution aggravation.The pure electric automobile of energy-conserving and environment-protective has been acknowledged as the main direction of 21 century automobile industry development.Each automobile vendor slowly turns one's attention to pure electric automobile and hybrid vehicle both at home and abroad.These trend will promote the develop rapidly of new-energy automobile industry greatly, and also production and the research and development for lithium ion battery provide good platform.The pure electric automobile most critical is partly battery module, and module is comprised of the cell connection in series-parallel.Monomer lithium ion battery just becomes the part of most critical.The performance quality of monomer lithium ion battery will directly affect the performance of whole battery module.Also will affect the normal operation of electric motor car.
In the lithium ion battery production run, after core winding into shell, battery case and battery cap seam crossing must be used the Laser Welding (LBW) firm welding.But, in laser beam welding, occasional occurs that the weld seam after the fried fiery phenomenon welding of welding has trachoma; Because the phenomenons such as rosin joint, weldering are leaked, weld strength is low often appear in the factors such as operation shakiness of weld jig wearing and tearing and laser-beam welding machine self.When follow-up the leaking hunting, out more screened than being easier to for the battery case of rosin joint solder skip, but can't screen and choose weld seam trachoma and the low battery case of weld strength.
The leakage battery is carried out to statistical study, and the one of the main reasons that causes battery leakage is that the battery container weld strength is inadequate.Whether if only to the battery after welding, use the detection of negative pressure battery to leak gas, and the lower battery of weld strength can not be detected, the lower battery of weld strength, after subsequent handling fluid injection sealing, is taken as the direct entrucking of qualified battery and uses.After this underproof battery is by entrucking, in the electric motor car operational process, must bear vibration repeatedly, the battery case of not prison welding can be bursting at the collision because bearing certain pressure or shock, and the electrolytic solution in battery container spills outward., except the performance of poor-performing affects whole Battery pack group, also there is larger potential safety hazard in the battery of leakage.Once the electrolytic solution in battery flows out meeting and airborne moisture generation chemical reaction in battery container, not only the performance of battery can directly be affected, and the electrolytic solution meeting corrosion cell group casing of outflow, also can cause environmental pollution simultaneously.
Domestic existing battery manufacture enterprise, a company can not guarantee that the weld strength 100% of all battery finished product battery cores reaches the lower limit of the technological requirement of the said firm self at present.How effectively guaranteeing the consistance of finished product battery core weld strength, will be the unavoidable problem that battery manufacture enterprise need to further investigate.
